We're
talking reigning Olympic champions Mondo Duplantis, Keely Hodgkinson and
Gabby Thomas, world champions Femke Broeders-Bol and Melissa
Jefferson-Wooden, Diamond League final winners Eleanor Patterson, Audrey
Werro and Kenny Bednarek, and select invitees.
None arguably come bigger than Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who arrives with
the distinction of holding all three pertinent titles in the men's 800m. Expect Duplantis to go for another world record in the men's pole vault, too. Of the 28 events, three in particular stand out: the women's 800m (Saturday, 2.18pm ET / 7.18pm BST), men's 1500m (Sunday, 2.10pm ET / 7.10pm BST) and women's 200m (Sunday, 2.49pm ET / 7.49pm BST).
Olympic champion Hodgkinson's rivalry with Diamond League final winner Audrey Werro has made the women's 800m essential viewing. Werro, who set the third-fastest time in history in June, has had the upper hand of late, which will only stoke Hodgkinson's fire. Broeders-Bol, the reigning 400m hurdles world champion, has made extraordinary progress since switching to the 800m this year.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Josh Kerr may not hold any of the three major men's 1,500m titles, but that's partly because the pair's sheer animosity has spilled over and ultimately skewered their races, such as the Olympic final won by Cole Hocker. Ingebrigtsen won 5,000m gold at the European
Championships last month, despite having not raced in nearly a year, while Kerr broke the 27-year-old one-mile world record in July, before taking gold in the same event at the Commonwealth Games . Look out for Cam Myers, too.
The women's 200m field, the final event on the track, could hardly be more stacked. Olympic champion Thomas and world champion Jefferson-Wooden will
duke it out for the US, with the later holding the fastest time in the world this year. Amy Hunt won four golds at the European championships, including
in this event, so look out for the Brit, too
